A fracture rules Rúben Vinagre out for 97 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hull City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market15 Jul 2030

Rúben Vinagre puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hull City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad15 Jul 2030

Kaide Gordon keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Hull City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad22 Oct 2029

A one-man rearguard from Ivor Pandur

There were 14 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

Andrey Santos was immovable

39 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad22 Oct 2029

A knee injury of the worst kind for Famara Diédhiou

24 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Hull City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Kaide Gordon: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hull City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

Nothing got past Charlie Hughes

29 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Market22 Oct 2029

Lucien Littbarski hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hull City can pretend not to have heard.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Tempers go at Hull City

Ivor Pandur was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

Mohamed Belloumi was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.92. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match20 Oct 2029

Mohamed Belloumi the difference as Hull City beat Birmingham

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Mohamed Belloumi. 1‑0 against Birmingham, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings13 Aug 2029

Nothing got past Charlie Hughes

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 35 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings13 Aug 2029

Nothing got past Darko Gyabi

34 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Ivor Pandur keeps Hull City in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market13 Aug 2029

Enis Destan attracts admirers

The name of Enis Destan has come up in conversations Hull City were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Tempers go at Hull City

Ivor Pandur was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market13 Aug 2029

As if he never left: Mario Sampirisi returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Mario Sampirisi is a Hull City player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Words at Hull City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Óscar Valentín is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match11 Aug 2029

Whatever happens, Hull City do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings13 Aug 2029

One of those days for Mohamed Belloumi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.48, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Cody Drameh keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Hull City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad21 May 2029

Ivor Pandur in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hull City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 May 2029

Ryan Giles falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

  • Squad The manager makes an example of Kaide Gordon
  • Boardroom The Hull City production line keeps running

Squad23 Apr 2029

Jamie Gittens is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.84 with 15 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match21 Apr 2029

Jamie Gittens breaks Preston hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Jamie Gittens scored in the 88th minute, Preston had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Hull City took the lot.

Squad23 Apr 2029

3 goals for Jamie Gittens

The match ball belongs to Jamie Gittens, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Kaide Gordon says Hull City went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Harry Maguire in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hull City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings23 Apr 2029

Jamie Gittens in the eights

A performance of 10.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match21 Apr 2029

Jamie Gittens sends Hull City past Preston

It finished 3‑2, and it was Jamie Gittens’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hull City.

Player ratings23 Apr 2029

Abdülkadir Ömür runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings23 Apr 2029

The chances came and went for Enis Destan

12 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Gonzalo Ríos: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hull City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Kaide Gordon gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Kaide Gordon has just signed for Hull City, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings5 Feb 2029

Age has not caught Harry Maguire yet — 7.82

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.82 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market5 Feb 2029

Harry Maguire wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Hull City hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Defences have started doubling up on Kieran Dowell

10 goals and a season average of 7.59 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Ninety minutes of Enis Destan at his very best

Marked 8.65. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Hull City.

Match3 Feb 2029

Enis Destan sends Hull City past Rotherham United

It finished 1‑0, and it was Enis Destan’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hull City.
